 Verified A Home Away From Home
We were booked here for 1 night on a recently traveled safari to Tanzania. We loved the simple comfortable and homely atmosphere with very wonderful people attending to our needs. The beds are quite comfortable and the breakfast very filling and delicious. It is a great steal of a home away from home as the charges are very reasonable.

 Verified Lovely and Homely
A lovely place that has a homely atmosphere in Karatu. We stayed here for 2 nights and it was lovely; from the excellent service of Danson and Freddie. Our room was clean with a comfortable bed and we slept soundly. I would recommend spending an evening around the fire after dinner as you enjoy a cold beer watching the clear skies. Its so peaceful and hopefully we will be doing this again next summer.

 Verified Welcoming accommodation on the way to Ngorongoro Crater
We stayed at Ngorongoro Inn while driving to Serengeti and the accommodation was a nice stop along the way that we recommend. The rooms are quite big and clean, as well as the toilet; there is a very nice and spacious garden outside. The staff has been wonderful, very welcoming and helpful and the food was also fine.

If you are looking for clean, simple well priced accommodation around Karatu then this is the place to be. We spent 2 days at the homely place and came to love it immensely. The staff are friendly, attentive and super nice. They went out of their way to make our stay special. The chef would ask us which meals to prepare and then prepare very tasty dishes. Memories of a local dish of spicy fried rice, with beef and plantain makes my mouth water.

 Verified Tanzania Hospitality
Had an amazing evening and night at the Ngorongorp Inn. The place is more like a private residence taking on a guest or two at a time. We enjoyed supper by the firepit and then retired to our room with a huge comfortable bed. Breakfast was great and we really loved the Tanzanian hospitality.

Our hosts booked this homely place for 1 night and we did not know what to expect but were pleasantly surprised with the overwhelming welcome and attention right from the moment we arrived, through dinner, to our room and the breakfast. The place is so well maintained with well-manicured lawn, flowers and a place where we had our dinner outdoors. The bed was comfortable, with clean sheets and nice pillows. It was like sleeping in a friend's house, with servants to attend to you.

 Verified Serene Homely Place
This is a lovely and homely place stay that we found in Karatu and were delighted beyond what we had expected. The house is surrounded by a lovely garden in the secure grounds, and it feels like we had rented the entire Chalet as there were only 2 other couples. Service is intimate and great really good. The food is excellent and was made fresh at every seating. We really enjoyed ourselves and would not hesitate to recommend the place to those seeking serenity.

 Verified We had a good 2 days
The simple design, great clean and comfortable rooms and top-class service and attention to detail by the wonderful staff led to a lovely 2 day stay at the Ngorongoro Inn. The Inn is well located and is great to stay in for visits to Ngorongoro Crater and the following day we went to Lake Eyasi from the place. Food was really good and we enjoyed the stay a lot. It's also very reasonably priced.

 Verified Delightful Stay in Karatu
My family had a delightful 2-day stay at this lovely boutique lodge during our recent trip to Tanzania. The location is safe and situated within beautifully maintained grounds, where we enjoyed outdoor dinners on both nights. The rooms are roomy, tidy, and impeccably clean. We found the beds incredibly comfortable, allowing us all to sleep soundly. The staff were very friendly and took great care of us. It's a great value considering their prices are quite reasonable.
